Application Description

Pocket Stars PDA SH3 is a high accuracy star chart, ephemeris, and Celestial Navigation calculator for the Pocket PC. The ultimate portable astronomy tool.
Note that this version only supports SH3 processors. This includes HP Jordana 540 Series devices.

Star Chart Features:
User interface optimized for simple and fast star, planet, Messier, and Caldwell object identification. Single click on any body to get the name, designation, calculated altitude, azimuth, and magnitude. Drag the cursor to scroll the chart. Zoom in and out with a single click.

3D Orrery display of solar system and background stars and constellations.

Display of orbital paths for inner solar system bodies showing daily positions for one year centered on current date.

Animation of the sky in increments of hours, days, weeks, or months.

Manual or automatic control of star magnitudes. Simple control over which objects to display. Overall, these features give great control of visual clutter given the limited screen real estate on the Pocket PC.

Star data is from the Bright Star Catalog (5th Revised Edition), comprising the 9110 brightest stars using J2000 equatorial positions and the International Celestial Reference Frame (ICRF).

Celestial Navigation Features:
Reduction from sextant altitude to observed altitude for any of the 9110 stars, nine planets, and sun and moon. Watch this movie to see how it's done.

Corrections for observer height (DIP), refraction (temperature and atmospheric pressure), and vessel movement.

Position from intercept and azimuth by calculation for multiple sextant observations following procedures in 'The Nautical Almanac' by the United States Naval Observatory.

Any number of sextant observations can be individually enabled to compute a best fit when computing a FIX. Results may be plotted, showing the assumed position (AP), FIX, and observations with intercepts and amplitudes.
